We had the best weather today and tomorrow will be much of the same...high near 80 degrees! That just puts me in a good mood. I am ready to get the rest of my spring decorating done and then start outside. Everything is starting to green up and bloom. I love this time of the year! I'm just praying for no tornadoes...it was scary last year. Everyone is hoping for calmer weather this year.

My dining room table has been empty since I took down my Christmas decor! That is the longest I have ever left anything "undecorated" lol...I finally couldn't wait any longer so I went through my spring flowers and put something together in a metal container I found at T.J. Maxx. Instead of adding one candle holder on each side, I added three! I put candles on two of them and nests with birds on the others for something a little different. I also dressed up the candle holders with ribbon, vines and butterflies. I am looking for a new table runner, but might haven't found anything yet. I might have to find some material and use my trusty old glue gun! =0

Here is a closeup of the candle holders dressed up with ribbon, vines, butterflies and nests.

I also added some birds and butterflies in the arrangement.

Now I'm going to work on the kitchen. Hopefully I can put something together over the next few days. This nice weather is putting me in a decorating mood!

I made some new things for myEtsy store in case you are in a spring decorating mood too. Here are just a few I listed today...This one is a miniature of the one on my dining room table.

I love it, Kristen! I was just thinking this weekend that I should look for a few candleholders to have around just for this type of thing. I was actually looking for one for a nest display, but I didn't feel like taking it from the area it was in. If I have a couple of extra on hand, I'll always be ready! Love your floral arrangement, too.

This seems to be a warm week for us here, too. Right now it's cloudy and 61, but tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and 75! I'm hoping to actually get out of the house and go somewhere pretty to walk around.

Hi Kristen! Your table looks lovely. My dining room table is completely bare and I'm so in the mood to decorate it too. It's soggy outside today, but it will be in the 80s tomorrow. Can't wait to decorate! Have a great day, Nicole

I am sooooo partial to birds. Your display is gorgeous - as always. You have a true gift. I love how the birds look so real with their nests. And the floral displays! Oh my! Wiping the drool off my chin...

(Conventional ovens work by heating the oven with an element from the bottom of the oven with baking racks located above it. There are plenty of options available for humidifiers including room humidifier, ultrasonic humidifier, portable humidifier and several more. You will want to iron the dried shirt to set the paint and then wait at least 72 hours before washing. You can avoid this by using a tankless water heater. Another plus point is that they use filters with much greater surface area and dirt-holding capacity to maximize contaminant removal, improve water pressure and flow characteristics, and extend filter life so you have less maintenance to do.
